Immortal Soaring Blade

Vol.2-Chapter 148 – Slaughter Aura

The Blue Thunder Rage Lion leaped into the air with the help of its hind legs, its giant body moving flexibly in the air.

The blue light became larger and larger in Zhao Jiuge’s eyes, accompanied by a fishy smell and some dust kicked up by the lion.

As he injected spirit force inside the Big-Dipper Sword, the silver light from the sword continued to intensify.

The chant for the sword art appeared in his mind. Just as the Blue Thunder Rage Lion was about the pounce, the silver sword energy flew out from the Big-Dipper Sword.

When this ray of sword energy was about to hit the Blue Thunder Rage Lion’s chest, it raised its mighty palm and smashed into the ray of sword energy.

There was a fierce collision. Aside from leaving a faint, white mark, the sword energy didn’t bring any harm to the Blue Thunder Rage Lion.

This caused Zhao Jiuge’s mood to sink. He was using a precious treasure but had only left a small mark. This was too abnormal. The Ghost Wind Spirit Wolf he had encountered in the sect was nothing compared to this lion.

Fortunately, Bai Qingqing had already taken out the Wind Flower Sword. Compared to Zhao Jiuge, Bai Qingqing’s control of spirit force and proficiency in the sword art was much better.

Three rays of sword energy flew out together toward the Blue Thunder Rage Lion’s head and chest. From observing the situation, those spots seemed to be more fragile.

After destroying one ray of sword energy, three more rays of sword energy arrived. The Blue Thunder Rage Lion was caught off guard and quickly raised its two front palms to block the one aimed for his head. The remaining two rays of sword energy tore into its chest and drew blood. However, the wound was not very big and only a few drops of blood could be seen on its blue fur.

As for its two palms, they only suffered light injuries. Its skin was scratched and there were traces of blood.

“Roar!”

The Blue Thunder Rage Lion was completely enraged. It ignored the injuries on its body and let out a roar.that caused the ground to tremble lightly.

The blue light on its body became brighter and brighter and then it rushed toward Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing. Its human-like scarlet eyes stared at Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing with a ferocious gaze.

“Attack together!” Bai Qingqing shouted with a serious expression. The Blue Thunder Rage Lion’s body was too powerful. Even the proud Bai Qingqing chose to quickly end this battle in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

“Okay.” Zhao Jiuge nodded with a serious expression. He also knew how much trouble they would be in if this dragged on.

The water-blue spirit force and golden spirit force intertwined.

Although the two spirit forces had different colors, they both contained a hint of coldness and were covered by a thin layer of mist.

Boom!

The three spirit forces collided. All three of them were at the late stage of the Foundation Realm, and since it was two versus one, the Blue Thunder Rage Lion was at a disadvantage.

The Blue Thunder Rage Lion’s spirit force was immediately destroyed. The remaining water-blue and golden spirit force immediately surrounded the Blue Thunder Rage Lion.

In a flash, all the fur on the Blue Thunder Rage Lion stood up like it was facing a powerful threat. Before it could react, the two spirit forces smashed into its body.

Cracking sounds immediately spread across the Blue Thunder Rage Lion. All the fur on its body was trembling and it was enduring a great deal of pain. Fortunately, due to its powerful body, even when faced with the joint attack of two late stage Foundation Realm cultivators, there was no threat to its life.

“If we use spirit force, his body is too strong, but if we use the sword art, the consumption is too much. However, the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect only gave us the first layer of the sword art.” Bai Qingqing felt annoyed that she would have to enter the inner sect to learn the second layer of the sword art.

After being injured twice, the Blue Thunder Rage Lion was not as violent as it was in the beginning.

Its body remained motionless and only its chest slightly moved. A grey light appeared in its scarlet eyes and its two hind legs started gently scratching the ground.

This strange action didn’t last for too long before it suddenly revealed a cruel smile. The blue light around its body dimmed and a thin layer of grey mist appeared.

Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing squinted and frowned at this seemingly familiar scene. This looked like an attribute one would get after tempering one’s body inside a spirit vein. They just didn’t know what kind of attribute this grey mist was.

As the grey mist became more and more dense, Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing felt a sense of danger. Both of them looked at each other and understood the other’s intent.

However, the Blue Thunder Rage Lion took the lead again. The sky was covered in blue light, but this time, there was a strange shade of grey around it.

Golden light continued to gather before Zhao Jiuge until it became extremely bright. His spirit force gathered like crazy like it was going to turn into liquid.

Then a giant golden palm appeared before him—it was spirit force materialization. Now that he had reached the Foundation Realm, this move was much more powerful than before and the spirit force attack created was much more dense. The palm was much more solid and a lot stronger.

When the golden palm collided with the blue spirit force with a shade of grey in it, the golden palm rapidly melted like a snowball that encountered fire. In the blink of an eye, the golden palm disappeared.

Zhao Jiuge was greatly shocked. What kind of situation was this? His cultivation level was similar to the Blue Thunder Rage Lion’s, and even if there was a difference, the Blue Thunder Rage Lion shouldn’t hold this much of an advantage.

“Hmph, do you think you’re the only one who entered a spirit vein?” After seeing Zhao Jiuge lose, Bai Qingqing quickly made a move to resist this strange spirit force.

“I want to see what this really is!”

Bai Qingqing’s alluring face gave off a majestic aura and her water-blue spirit force revolved around her beautiful figure.

There was also a faint layer of mist around this water-blue spirit force. However, unlike the strange greyness, it was a chilly, white mist.

The two spirit forces immediately intertwined with each other and gave off a burst of light. Rocks started to fall from the sides of the cliffs and ripples echoed on the river’s surface.

After the burst of light dissipated, Zhao Jiuge squinted and focused on the center of the collision. Then his pupils immediately widened!

Not even Bai Qingqing was able to stop the spirit force containing the grey mist—it continued forward like nothing had happened.

Bai Qingqing’s brows furrowed and she seemed to think of something. After colliding with that grey mist, she was more certain and then she shouted, “It’s slaughter aura!”

Slaughter aura was a special attribute that had a corrosive effect. No wonder Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing’s spirit force had been destroyed so easily. The Huaxia Dynasty was vast with its 13 provinces, and there were countless spirit veins hiding in remote places. Each of these spirit veins had taken a long time to form, and not only did they contain a large amount of spirit force, they also carried different attributes.

This slaughter aura has a very powerful corrosive attribute and was very powerful but it still had a fatal weakness. Its very weak to fire or thunder attribute spirit force or treasure.

Looking at the corrosive, grey mist-filled spirit force Bai, Qingqing quickly shouted, “Use your fire gourd, slaughter aura is weak to fire. I don’t have any fire attribute treasures.”

Her tone was anxious. If she had a fire attribute treasure, she would have dealt with it herself. However, most of her treasures had the water attribute, as this was related to her family.

Zhao Jiuge was a bit startled. He didn’t know as much as Bai Qingqing and didn’t know what a slaughter aura was. However, he trusted Bai Qingqing and quickly took out the Purple Gold True Fire Gourd.

There was a flash of light before his chest and a palm-sized jade gourd appeared in Zhao Jiuge’s hand. At this moment, the spirit force containing the grey mist was less than three meters from Zhao Jiuge!
